Such sad news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II this |
|
afternoon. |
|
She was the steadfast embodiment of what we all stand for in the |
|
Commonwealth and a remarkable person whom led our nation for |
|
over 70 years with distinction and aplomb. |
|
RIP Ma�am 😢 |

She's reunited with her prince now. The heartbreak was too much |
|
for her. |
|
RIP Ma'am. |

I was moved by the service in St Paul's this evening. I |
|
appreciated the Scottish musical elements, particularly the |
|
Peter Maxwell Davies piece taking me back to some very rainy |
|
days in Stromness and the piper's lament which I found quite |
|
haunting. Herbert Howells got a good innings with four items, |
|
though not, sadly, his Nunc Dimittis where the Stanford version |
|
(which I don't recall hearing before) was preferred. |
|
Aside from the music I was struck by both the cosmopolitan |
|
nature of the congregation and its youthfulness compared to most |
|
congregations that I know. |
|
Apart from the service one relatively small announcement |
|
impressed me -that Brazil had declared three days of mourning |
|
for the Queen. So far as I am aware there are no extra-special |
|
ties between Brazil; and the UK and that they should honour her |
|
in this way is a tribute to the contribution she has made to the |
|
reputation of the UK around the world. |
